It may not be an unac ceptable service to our community to trace the character and career of Judge Wood bury, as affording an incentive to emulate his example and admire his many grand and excellent qualities.

This was his first step in political life. True to his country and her cause in car-1 ly youth, all his subsequent career had been but a constant and consistent exem plification of his confidence in this choice of political principles. Devoted to the cause of popular rights, he has always been a favorite with tiiiJ people that knew him. "They loved him because he first loved them." This was proven by the fact, that as soon as his party obtained a majority in New Hampshire (1816) he was selected as Secretary of the Senate, and in January following was elected one of the Judges of the Superior Court, the highest Judicial tribunal in the State. To a young man of only 26 years of age. his elevation waff almost unprecedented, nd the- fears of some were excited lest tht ermine of Justice would prove too weight "or one o young and inexperienced. But ihese fears were idle, for hii active and well disciplined minuylike well tempered steel, only proved Its quality, as weigh and resistance were presented. The a cufeness of his mind his quick percption of the truth, the extent and variety of his knowledge, as well as his great firmness and moral courage, .has even at this day caused his elevation fo the bench to.be re garded as most fortunate to the State, and his course as a model of judicial -deport ment. From this bench, in 1823, Mr Woodbury was elected Governor of the State of New Hampshire. In 1825 we find him in the Legislature as its Speaker, at which session henvas elected Senator in the Congress of the United States. Here seemed to be the proper element of his genius and talents. For six years there was no event in the history of our republic, in which his name does not bear a conspic uous part: His laborious and patient re searches for truth and facts, his system and arrangement of material when collected, his power and eloquence when presenting these truths in debate, always caused him 4 t 1 r . r-i m r n. t L MMArminrl n O A ft t I" t r 1 his associates, and commanded the applause (of his audience. The best evidence of this respect is that he was, for four sucessive . sessions, Chairman of the C ommittee on . committees of the Senate, involving as it does the whole commercial interests of the nation. He was also Chairman of a Select have filled the nation with their fame. . 1 in 1830, such were the sacrifices of domes- tic comfort by these repeated separations ; n Jl k j i ii uui 111 lulling, UO t en ni vmiiui vau'7, hi.

" ment was placed in the hands of Judge Woodbury; it seemed to require the gen ius of a Neckar. or a Hamilton, to conduct this department, without ruin and dis grace to the Government and the officer presiding over it Yet, through all these troubles, and the still darker period of l835-'36, and '37, did Judge Woodbury control the monetary affair of the nation, and by his labors and assiduity the credit of the nation survived the storm, unspotted and untarnished. His report show a most minute familiarity wjth the detail of every branch of this widely extended de partment, and presented to the country, in Ja plain and familiar manner, the whole system of our finances. At the fall of his Republican; simplicity, and honesty,. wor party in 1840, he left this department, but thy of the noble character and of the bestj only again to enter into the service of the days of our good old Commonwealth, people, for in 1841 he took his seat in Kind and charitable to the poor- devoted Congress as a Senator from New Hamp- ly attached to his friends, and scrupulously, shire. Here his career by no means di- honest and candid in all the relations-of minished the laurels formerly obtained by life, we do not believe he has left an enemy. him on the same field of glory, and here he remained until 1845, when President Polk appointed hira one of the Associate Judges will be inseparably; associated with its his of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge tory; but to his afflicted. family he has left Story, deceased. Public opinion, from one end .Qf the Union ta the ottrer, approved and applau - ded this appointment of the faithful public servant to one of the highest tribunals on earth. It might be improper to sneak of v mm m circuit and at Washington: his reputation as a Judge. at a still -ounger age, and the C7 ' I pharacter and dignity that he has confer red on every station he has occupied, is the best evidence, of his distinguished worth. In his person, Judge Woodbury is large and imposing; time has robbed his massive head of most of its luxuriant tresses, yet, in recompense, has stored within deep and varied knowledge. In his domestic rela tions he is more than happy in the wife of his youth, now the mother of a lovely family, who add grace and beauty to the well earned honors of the husband and father. His eldest daughter married Judge Hlair, of St. Louis, Missouri, son of Fran cis P. Blair, Esq . of Washington city. Such is the public service and character of Levi Woodbury. Such men consti tute the. w ealth and glory of a nation. With a youth passed in the laborious pur suits of knowledge, unstained by indiscre tion or vice, the prime of manhood spent in the service of his country, without a single imputation against his integrity, and in maturer years, with the experience of a whole life of study he is a fit candidate for any position in the gift of the nation. It is true that he has not fought any battles on the fields of Mexico, or else where; but he has fought in those battles in the Senate and Cabinet, ot "which guns"and soldiers only constitute a subordinate part of the drama, and displayed intrepid courage and moral firmness of the most elevated order. To the South, altogether a Northern man, and born on the wrong side of the Tweed," his career in Congress has been liberal and noble. His efforts in the Sen ate to reduce the odious Tariff on Salt, his able report on "the culture, manufacture and foreign trade of cotton" in 1836, (which shed more knowledge on this great staple than wa ever before possessed, and has since become a text-book on the sub ject to statesmen) his present well known der for WOODBURY From the Raleigh Standard.

As a Judge he was unusually accurate and profound; and his decisions, though they evince no effort at display, and no reaching after fine language or well-turned periods, will be long respected for their soundness and for the learning they contain.

Trotter and Richard Balton, from Person county, North Caro lina, were murdered in Randolph county Georgia, near Harrison's Store, about eight miles east of Eufala, Alabama. They had disposed of a large number of ? negroes whom the' had brought south for sale, and it is probable were murdered un der the expectation that they had a largo sum of money with them. In this the murderers were disappointed, as most of the negroes had been disposed of on a credit. They had with them at the time of the murder two negro men and a boy, and were travelling in a carryall. They had camped for the night and fallen asleep together on a mattre?s, when the negroes cut both their throats at the same moment , with razors. Trotter, who was not so dis abled as the other, jumped to his feet, but was despatched with an axe. They took the bodies about a mile to 3 creek and threw them in, and also a trunk; ; burnt the notes and papers about their persons, and the bloody mattress; securing whatever money they had, and started with the boy, carryall and horses, towards Marion county. A man passing the creek next morning saw the trunk, and suspect ing something, got some of the citizens to go with him, got out the trunk, and hunt ing the creek for some little distance, found the bodies also The tracks of the wagon, were .then, followed to where they had camped, and then in the direction they had. taken until they were overtaken. The negroes confessed the deed, and are now in jail in Randolph county, Georgia. It was at first thought that white men wer concerned in the matter, but the fact, above were elicited from the negroes themsel ves. Montgomery Advertiser, ,1 "it, , .
